Title: Temp programming...How to?
Post by: Tree_Killer on November 18, 2012, 04:54:38 PM
Ok, since I didn't receive a manual from previous owner...how do you program a heatmaster?  I seen a lot of you all are saying 165-180 temp with a 15 degree swing. But since I don't have my manual A: I am not completely sure what that means? B: Not sure how to adjust/program it?  C: is this something I have to do yearly if power is shut off completely to furnace?

Anything else I should know? 

I am trying to get a copy of a owner manual...hopefully heatmaster will come through for me on that.

Another question on burning.  The wood in the back of the fire box seems to disappear fast. But the wood in the front (by door) doesn't seem to want to completely burn. Normal?

Tree_Killer,

Follow this link for the PDF instructions for your controller:

Under 'Programming Steps and Display', you will see the steps to follow for setting the differential.

Happy burnings!

Michael

Push set button pick C of F with up or down arrow buttons
Push set button  set upper temp ( 165 - 185 ) with arrow buttons
Push set button set lower temp ( 15 deg diff ) with arrow buttons
Push set.

Done

So if you are wanting to run a 15 deg cool down for 165 deg upper temp set you lower temp to 150.  Once the furnace hits 149 the blower will kick on until the temp reaches 165. 

Wood at back will burn faster the front if your blower is mounted on the front door, like mine is, but all will burn.  When I reload I push everything back and load new.  I have a long metal hoe that I use to even ashes and push wood to back.
